However, the disease is rarely life-threatening and most children recover fully without any permanent problems. RS-virus is usually transmitted from one person to another by direct contact. While an adult or older child may merely have the symptoms of a common cold , younger children and babies may develop severe exhaustion and admission to hospital may be necessary.

[View All Articles] Childhood Illnesses Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) commonly causes infection in childhood. RSV is highly infectious and almost all babies get it before the age of 2. Many babies (and most older children) get only a slight cold from RSV. However, some babies with RSV develop potentially serious lower respiratory infections such as bronchiolitis (infection of the small breathing tubes in the lungs, also known as “chest cold”) and pneumonia (lung infection). These infections are especially dangerous in babies who were born prematurely, have lung or heart problems or certain other chronic illnesses. Your baby can get RSV at any time of year, but it is most common from fall to spring. Symptoms of RSV usually last between 7 and 14 days. Most babies with RSV do not become seriously ill. However, a small number of babies do become very sick, and may need to be treated in the hospital with oxygen and, in some cases, with antiviral drugs. Call your baby's doctor right away if your baby: Develops fast breathing or breathing problems, wheezing (a whistling sound when exhaling), worsening cough, or looks blue around the mouth

Organizations Definition Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of many types of infections of the respiratory system (lungs and breathing passages), including: Common cold Bronchitis Bronchiolitis Pneumonia Although these infections can happen at any age, they occur most commonly and are usually most severe in infants and young children. In severe cases RSV infections can cause death. Respiratory System Anatomy of an Infant Causes RSV is spread through infected fluids of the mouth, nose, and eyes. The virus most often enters the body from touching the mouth, nose, or eyes. It can also be spread by inhaling droplets from a sneeze or cough. RSV is a very contagious virus. It can survive on surfaces and objects for hours and is easily passed from person to person. RSV infection is most contagious during the first two to four days of an illness. It may continue to be contagious for up to two weeks after the illness begins. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors include:

Advanced Search Tips from Other Journals Previous Next Managing Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis Bronchiolitis, usually seen in children younger than two years, manifests as rhinorrhea, cough, expiratory wheezing, and respiratory distress. After several days, cough worsens and there is evidence of lower respiratory tract involvement including difficulty breathing and intercostal retractions. Bronchiolar narrowing is exacerbated by the positive expiratory pressure when the child tries to forcefully exhale to overcome narrowed passageways. Symptoms usually begin eight to 12 days after infection secondary to inflammation, even though viral load peaks in four to five days. The differential diagnosis includes infantile asthma, in which infants present with recurrent cough, wheezing, and tachypnea. Panitch reviews the supportive care and therapies designed to overcome airway obstruction in patients with respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis. Although the foundation of management of respiratory syncytial virus disease is supportive care with fluid replacement and supplemental oxygen, treatments to dilate constricted bronchi can be useful. These treatments include corticosteroids, bronchodilators, helium/ oxygen therapy, and exogenous surfactant, which are used to decrease disease duration and improve morbidity and mortality.
